Inspiration Point

by RogerPatterson

If you can still access it, and if somebody will give you directions, go up and look out upon the entire Honey Lake Valley from Inspiration Point. It offers some really breath-taking views.
In the spring and Summer it is green and beautiful.
Awe inspiring when the ground is covered with snow. The clean fresh air, the stars at night, and knowing most everybody who lived within five miles of the town, because I grew up in a Plumbing Shop: Milwood Plumbing Co. at 2314 Main Street. Our first phone number that I remember was "11." You had put the hearing piece to your ear and speak into the standing microphone so you could ask the operator to connect your call. The operator often times knew your voice and called you by name. Then the number changed to "11-R."
Next it was "2115." The phone company added dial phone access then 257 was added to all the local numbers so it became 257-2115.
About that time, 1956 (I think), cable TV was delivered to Susanville. I reckon it's still there. Different wire though.

"Susanville"

High in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, many miles from any large city, is the little town of Susanville. This old Gold Rush town is well located for touring the Sierra Nevada mountains, and has several interesting historical sites.

It was founded by Isaac Roop in 1854, who named it for his daughter. The colorul murals around downtown tell a lot about him and the history of the place.
